Nanocomposite systems based on gold nanoparticles and thiometalates. From colloids to networks

Abstract

A new nanocomposite system based on gold nanoparticles and thiometalates is described. According to the metalate species, WS4 or WS2O2, and to the experimental conditions, two sizes of particles are obtained (d = 2 or 5 nm). These particles lead either to stable colloidal solutions or irreversible micrometric spherical aggregates of nanoparticles cemented by WS4. Energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been used to fully characterize the different composite systems.
